The 3 Best Mini Wine Fridges As Of May, 2021 (And 31 Other Models)

The positive portion of the Magic Chef MCWC6B mini wine cooler's 668 reviews (collected and scanned by our system across multiple sources) praises it greatly for its countertop-friendly form that is compact yet classy-looking. Many reviewers have said that this model looks and feels very well-made, and have especially expressed delight over the blue interior lighting. Going beyond external appearances, the Magic Chef MCWC6B has also been reported to effectively do its job of chilling six wine bottles without any problems.

However, it's reportedly noisier than what's ideal, especially for a device that commonly sits on top of kitchen counters. Another common gripe we have seen among buyer reviews is the lack of a digital display which, along with the dial knob-type control, makes it impossible for a specific temperature to be set. Obviously, this is a potential problem for the extra-particular wine drinker, unless you decide to put a thermometer inside.

In addition, the control knob's placement makes it a bit hard to access and use, as reported by reviewers. Since the knob is apparently placed near the interior light source, looking at the markings on the dial could be straining for the eyes.

These ergonomic issues aside, the Magic Chef MCWC6B small wine fridge has still earned far more positive reviews than negative ones, as it appears to be completely able to perform its job while being space- and cost-efficient. With this in mind, it's not surprising that it is currently the number-one mini wine fridge on this top 3 list (Learn how we rank items) with a 78 confidence level (More on confidence levels).

With its 4.5 stars averaged from 277 reviews, we rank this Koolatron model second best mini wine fridge. * By the way, this list is based on a full analysis of hundreds of mini wine fridge reviews from multiple sources.

The FR24SL is a basic thermoelectric 8-bottle wine cooler with a thermal glass door, LCD display, and adjustable level legs.

The Westinghouse WWT080MB is rated (rating temporarily unavailable) stars across the reviews that our system has aggregated. Like any other mini countertop wine cooler, it has its own share of good and not-so-good reviews from the people who shelled out cash to buy it.

Many of the good reviews say that this has a very quiet operation. That is, some say that its noise levels are nothing distracting, while others say that they can't hear the unit at all. Most of its satisfied consumers also seem to agree that the Westinghouse WWT080MB appears well-made and feels high-quality.

In terms of operation, this countertop small wine fridge reportedly reaches the desired temperature quickly. The mechanical dial knob used to control the temperature has also been a good thing for many buyers, as it ensures that the temperature would stay on the desired level even after power-related issues, which may cause the product to reset. Finally, the reviews say that it accommodates the number of bottles that it advertises to do so, but these bottles have to be in the standard size.

This brings us to the customer feedback on the not-so-favorable side of the spectrum. Having wider wine bottles or champagne bottles would automatically compromise the 8-bottle capacity. Some people remedy this by modifying or removing some of the shelves, but this step may represent an unacceptable nuisance for others. Many have also expressed the desire for a built-in temperature display, which is a feature that is notably absent from this wine cooler.

The HVTEC08ABS is an 8-bottle freestanding wine cooler crafted with a curved double-pane insulated glass door.

With only a 4-bottle capacity, this mini fridge can be mounted onto cupboards or affixed along your counters, avoiding clutters caused by larger models.

The 6-bottle Haier HVTEC06ABS has so far earned a (rating temporarily unavailable)-star rating (averaged across reviews) during its stay in the mini wine fridge scene. We have seen a lot of customers expressing satisfaction over its looks, and the small-yet-sophisticated silver and black exterior has definitely earned a lot of admiration from reviewers. Going beyond the superficial, it also apparently feels well-made and solidly-built.

As for performance, many people have reported that this mini wine fridge didn't have any troubles doing what it's supposed to do. In fact, there have been many reports about it withstanding hot ambient temperatures -- meaning, it's able to maintain the set temperature in spite of fluctuations in the environment. Moreover, most of its reviews have also said that it operates quietly -- though we have also come across feedback (small in number compared to the positive ones) that say otherwise.

As for apparent cons, the most common complaint we've seen are those that express disappointment over the size of its middle shelf. According to some buyers, only standard-size bottles fit in the said space -- veer away from it, even by just a little bit, and you'll apparently find the middle shelf to be unaccommodating. Also, it doesn't appear to have a temperature memory feature, and so it resets to the default temperature (somewhere around 60 degrees Fahrenheit) upon turning on after power surges or electricity disturbances.

Because of these, the HVTEC06ABS didn't make it into our top 3 mini wine fridges list, but it is without a doubt still a competitive model.

The CWC-800 is an 8-bottle thermoelectric mini wine cooler with a cooling capacity of 39F to 68F.
